Using a cover at night will stop heat loss and the pool will be much warmer. When we had a cover on our pool it was over 80 on some days in January and February last year.
The cover was such a pain to take off and put on because of the pool shape that we decided that it wasn't worth the effort. Kidney shaped pools look nice but don't allow covers that can be easily stored on a reel.
If I ever build a pool it will be rectangular so I can install an automatic cover.
